Chapter 257: Zeratul at Kerrigan (2)

Since four years ago, he and Renault fought the Zerg on the Protoss home star Al and helped the Protoss escape. Over the years, feeling the power of the Zerg, Zeratul has been looking for a bug about the worm. The ancient prophecy of the return of Sarnagar.
He has an intuition that if he doesn't figure this out thoroughly, something terrible will happen!
For a long period of time afterwards, based on a few words in some ancient documents of the Protoss, Zeratul discovered that in this remote planet Ulan, which had long been abandoned by the Pros, there were some records of ancient prophecies. Slate?
Therefore, he came here on a small Protoss universe shuttle ship today, came to this remote planet, trying to uncover the secrets that have been buried here and have been sealed for a long time...
"The arrival of the swarm is as expected in the prophecy..."
In a huge dim cave, Zeratul used the strong light emitted from the green psionic blade on his right hand, just like that while watching the stone slab carefully, while muttering something.
Sure enough, these things in front of him are what he has been looking for.
After confirming, he began to look down patiently and bit by bit, and his colleagues also struggled to translate the obscure ancient words and abstract patterns on the slate.
"Then the celestial spirits, the first race conceived by God, rose up against them..."
"Now, the Sarnagar who created us... is coming back..."
"They are coming back to save us...?"
"...Or destruction?"
These are all the information Zeratul learned from this slab.
Well, in fact, this is just Zeratul guessing by himself based on the pattern. As for the words, he doesn't quite understand it!
Moreover, he also discovered that the information recorded on this slate is actually not comprehensive. It is estimated that it is only part of the whole prediction? Therefore, after carefully removing the stone slabs, he planned to look for it in other temples, scan all the other stone slabs that recorded the prophecy, and then take them down and pack them away.
Suddenly, when Zeratul turned around and was about to set off to other temples on this Ulan planet, in this dilapidated temple cave, several Zerg Hydralisks appeared and attacked him. .
"Ha ha ha..."
When Zeratul easily killed all the bugs in the way in three or two, a woman's deep laughter came out in the darkness.
Then, when Zeratul looked over with laughter, he found a pair of huge bone wings, his body covered by cuticle-like scales, and his hair was still section by section, like bone spurs. But women with human bodies and nice faces walked out of the darkness.
Zeratul said that he knew this person, and he knew him well! At the same time gritted his teeth with hatred!
She is: the culprit who destroyed countless creatures and planets, the new queen of the Zerg after the ruler was killed, the queen of blades, Kerrigan!
"I knew that you will come here in the end, Zeratul, are you attracted by that prophecy too?"
Just as he walked out of the darkness alone, Kerrigan smiled indifferently after looking at the Hydralisk hacked to death by Zeratul disdainfully.
Although there are still a lot of her large forces in this cave, she is not going to summon them out now, so as not to irritate this ancient templar and the head of the dark church too much.
As an existence deliberately created by the Domination, the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, who was granted knowledge, certainly knew why Zeratul came here, so after knowing about Zeratul’s whereabouts, she came here early. When I came to this planet named Ulan for layout, I planned to have a good talk with this old man who has a pivotal position among the star spirits.
Just now, the reason why she let a few Hydralisks go out was nothing more than to let the old man fight for a while, to dispel the anger in the other's heart.
"Your existence alone has defiled this sacred place, Kerrigan!"
It's a pity that Zeratul didn't want to hear the words of the Zerg executioner who had slaughtered countless creatures. In the next second, he once again released the green psionic blade that he had just recovered, ready to attack the enemy.
"Didn't you hear it? The whisper that came from between the stars of Zeratul? The entire galaxy will soon turn into a sea of ​​flames..."
Kerrigan intends to persuade this stubborn old man that she doesn't need to look at the prophetic slab at all, she knows much more than what Zeratul has learned from the slab!
In fact, this matter should start from the birth of the ruler...
At the beginning, it was created by Eamon and given the ability to think and learn, but it was not dominated by the free will Zerg. It kept resisting in the prison of imprisoning thoughts.
No one has ever known who is controlling the master behind the scenes. Later, after discovering the master of humans, he finally found a good way to get all the Zerg out of the control of Eamon, and that is to create the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan!
This magical existence created by Eamon believes that only she can keep the Zerg away from the fate of slaves, and only she can prevent the cruel future that he has foreseen from dominating...
This is also the reason why Kerrigan has not blindly attacked Zeratul now. She knows more of her than the other party, and obviously hopes to cooperate with the Protoss with powerful phantom power to resist the impending destiny of destruction!
As for the cooperation with humans, she didn't dare to think too much. After all, Kerrigan had killed countless billions of humans over the years. This kind of hatred is almost endless?
Besides, in the eyes of the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, who has not yet restored human memory, human beings are too selfish and fickle, and their individual strength is too low and too low. It is really not a good partner for cooperation!
Therefore, the Protoss has become her only choice!
And among the various branches of the Protoss, this respected and more open-minded Nerazim Protoss Dark Church, Zelato, became the only person she could talk to?
"Probably...but you may not be dead to see that time!"
Seeing that the Queen of Blades Kerrigan appeared alone in this place, without too many insects to accompany him, this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zeratul would certainly not miss it!
In case, if he really accidentally killed the queen of this insect swarm, wouldn't it solve a major disaster for the creatures in the Kepulu region? !
Therefore, he stopped talking nonsense with the enemy in front of him, directly raised the green psionic blade in his hand, and then a shadow raid, turning into a black mist, and instantly rushed towards the queen of blades, Kerrigan. past.
It's a pity that the shadow raid has just reached the front and top of the Queen of Blades. Before Zeratul's psionic blade had time to swing down the enemy's head, he was blocked by the opponent's phantom energy. In midair, he was pushed out by an invisible ghost field.
"Please! The little conflict between us has now become meaningless! An unstoppable storm is sweeping!"
"Zelatu, we are running out of time. Now we should unite...together against the cruel fate that is about to be destroyed."
Blade Queen Kerrigan doesn't want to fight this stubborn old man of the Protoss, at least not now!
She was afraid that if she accidentally beat the other party to death, wouldn't there be no room for relaxation? At that time, with her and her worms, it is obvious that she will not be able to effectively fight the terrible existence that is hidden in the darkness and is always ready to destroy everything!
Because of this, she did not summon the insect swarm not far away, nor did she use the destructive skills, but just defended the opponent's attack and bounced it back.
"Do not!!"
Zeratul still stubbornly rejected the other party's proposal. He had already committed a lot of sins. How could he even go to unite with the bug? He hasn't forgotten why Al, the home star of the Protoss, fell!
If he really did what the other party said, then Zeratul would really become the sinner of all the Protoss.
Therefore, in the midair over the opponent’s Nether Energy Shield, he disappeared instantly again, and once again used his shadow assault skills. With the momentum of thunder, he exhausted the shadow power of his whole body, disappearing and appearing. For an instant, waving his psionic war blade, he slashed straight towards the Queen of Blades...
In the next second, a burst of shadowy smoke appeared again, and Zaratu appeared on a rock in the distance, and painfully covered his right arm.
He had already successfully attacked Kerrigan, Queen of Blades, with the blow just now. However, his own right arm was also hit hard by the opponent's counterattack.
"It seems that destiny cannot be changed after all... the ending will come eventually... When it is my turn... I will gladly accept..."
Looking down at the phantom bone wing that he was cut off by the opponent and slipped to the ground, Kerrigan frowned lazily.
It seems that the negotiation and cooperation between the two sides has obviously failed, right?
Since the cooperation fails, it can be foreseen: in the near future, the destruction of the entire galaxy creatures, maybe, is really inevitable?
Therefore, after using his super regenerative ability to regenerate the bone wings, Kerrigan stretched out his hand to soothe his surroundings a little bit. After the insect swarms that were planning to rush up to tear the enemy apart, he sneered and glanced at the stubborn star last. Old man Ling, then turned and walked into the darkness.
Kerrigan does not feel much sadness about the failure to reach cooperation.
In Kerrigan, who has not restored human memory, since we can’t work together and struggle for survival in the face of the tragic fate that is coming, we should simply be destroyed by the doomed fate together...
"Prophecy...not absolute! There will always be new hope..."
After seeing the blade queen Kerrigan leading her swarm directly into the darkness, Zeratul thought for a while, but resisted the idea of ​​cooperating with the other party.
In fact, at that moment, he really believed the other party's words. Just now, the other party obviously had the opportunity to kill her easily, but she didn't do anything cruel...
Coupled with the intuition that he had just seen the prophecy and he had had a foreboding about it before, that interstellar whisper?
Otherwise, he would not spend a lot of time in the past few years trying to find this ancient prophecy about Sarnagar's return.
But, at least for now, he still has a slight illusion. He feels that if he can gather all the prophetic slabs, he may be able to find something better that can avoid being destroyed without cooperating with the Zerg. method?
"My mother! I just heard you right, right? We seem to be involved in some great event?"
"The ancient prophecy of the Protoss? The destruction of the world? The unstoppable storm? The destiny of Rao Shizi? The galaxy turned into a sea of ​​flames? What were they talking about, these two monsters?!"
On the bridge of the heavy battlecruiser Führer after the reform, Captain Planck exclaimed with a grin while drinking wine.
It turned out that they had just passed the reconnaissance magic engraved on this battleship by Master Anne, and used an invisible mobile real-vision surveillance guard to quietly follow the strange protagonist that landed on Ulan planet, and then use the bridge. Through the field of vision provided by the investigating guards, the magical appearance of, the whole process of watching and hearing the battle between the two of Zeratul and the Queen of Blade Kerrigan and the whole content of the dialogue!
"Your Excellency, what are we going to do now? Do we want to get involved? Did you see that? The Protoss named Zeratul, he seems to be going to collect all the prophecy tablets?"
After watching the images conveyed by the scout guards for a while, Planck felt a little uneasy!
According to what the two said, a catastrophe that seems to be able to sweep the entire galaxy was engraved on those prophetic tablets?
Then, think about the identities of the two: one of them, is the high-level of the Protoss race, the headmaster of the dark church? And the other one is even more amazing! Kerrigan, the blade queen of the Swarm? The identities of the other two are there, so you won't be able to come here to play a play, right?
So, Planck thinks, at least 80% of this matter is true!
If people like yourself don't get involved quickly and understand the details, maybe they will really end up with a black eye? He doesn't want to die to be imminent or be a fool!
"Well……"
Little Annie frowned, ignoring the drunk old man next to her.
She just hugged her little bear and sat on the captain's chair with interest, squinting at the pictures returned by the investigating guards, not knowing what she was thinking.
In fact, when Zeratul checked the slate, she had secretly let the investigating guards scan it, and now she knew some of the above.
It is nothing more than the kind of life creator named Sarnagar in this universe, ready to return to this universe again! Then, based on the dialogue between the two, it was not difficult for her to guess the meaning: it seems that the returning Sarnagar intends to completely destroy the life they created in this world?
Isn't this the same as the Burning Legion in the world of Azeroth! It was the so-called Dark Titan or something, it is said that it was the boss of the great demon Archimonde killed by the green-headed elves? what do you say that is? It seems to be Sargeras?
Gee! Little Annie herself did not expect that in this world that seemed to belong to the technological side, there would be such a creation Titan-like thing?
If this is the case, then this is consistent with the great malice that Little Annie felt when she first came to this Kepulu region!
By now, the pattern is roughly understood, but she doesn't understand the specific text on the slate.
It seems that the ancient language written by a certain spiritual brand is used above?
If she wants to interpret it further, she must get in touch with the stone slabs up close, and relying on the images provided by the investigating guards alone can only roughly understand the patterns.
But... there seems to be a lot of bugs below, do you want to make trouble?
"Dreyus, what do you think of those two men?"
Galen continued to look at the image returned by the investigating guard with a serious expression. In it, the Zeratul, the Protoss warrior, was rushing in stealth, just like cutting melons and vegetables along the way to deal with the bugs blocking the way.
He doesn't actually care about those prophecies and the like, and he doesn't understand it either!
What he cares more about is the Protoss Templar named Zeratul! That Protoss seems to be very different from the ones they fought on Haven before? Very difficult to deal with?
"I don't know that female bug, but that Protoss, he is indeed a terrifying opponent!"
Seeing the protoss warrior who killed a lot of bugs without damage in the picture, Dreyus's face was also a bit unsightly.
In the picture that just came back, the other party actually relied on the magical means of invisibility, playing like a game, and hacked to death a huge thunder beast insect in two or two?
This Protoss, whether it is the means of instantaneous movement and surprise attacks turned into black smoke, or the skill of flashing and suppressing the enemy like that of a prison, it makes Delius find it difficult to entangle!
What's more terrible: the opponent even has the kind of skillful close combat combat skills and the ability to be completely invisible? If it's something like a bug with a low perception ability and low IQ, maybe the one who was hacked to death by the enemy doesn't know?
"In the real fight, if there is no way to break the opponent's invisibility or perceive the opponent's existence, then I am afraid that all of our two teams together are not his opponents..."
This terrifying Protoss warrior, if it is head-on, Delius is not afraid!
But the opponent not only has weird means of attack, it can also turn into a black smoke short-range raid or long-range flashing, and what's more terrible is that it can remain invisible for a long time. It is impossible to fight...
Dreyus could even imagine that if ordinary marines of humans faced such opponents, how many lives would not be enough to fill in such a strange assassination by the opponent?
"If the distance is not far, I have a way to force him out of invisibility, but... he will flash for a long distance..."
Seeing in the picture, a flicker crossed a cliff one or two hundred meters wide, Galen didn't know what to say.
Running fast, invisible all the way, making a sudden attack, flashing at a long distance, will suppress the opponent's ability to let him hack and kill and not counterattack? This is simply a general existence!
That is now, if they were replaced by the time when they had no melee combat ability and no special power, it is estimated that how many people would not be able to kill alone?
"Now! Galen, how many troops are there on our battleship?"
Finally, sitting in the captain's position for a long time in silence, Annie, who didn't know what she was thinking about, finally said at this moment.
After thinking about it again and again, she thinks, anyway, they are now free to advance and retreat. They have a warship on standby in the orbit, they can teleport back at any time, and are not afraid of being surrounded by insects? In this way, it seems that you can really go to the ground to disturb the game, and see if you can ‘borrow’ the few prophetic slabs that the Protoss finally collected for a look?
"Army, army?"
Hearing the question from the little head of state Anne, Galen was stunned. Could it be that their head of state was going to fight the insects and the protoss?
"Report to the Head of State: On this battleship, besides our 20-man Head of State Guard, currently only equipped with a 300-man Marine Corps, two heavy siege tanks and ten pilot-produced first batch of Beijing fighter!"
As a captain and chief military officer of the Führer's Guard, Galen is clearly clear about the armament of the Führer battlecruiser.
These are the troops they can put into the landing operation at any time. As for the security personnel, guards and other crews on other warships, they are not included in the calculation for the time being.
"How come there are so many people..."
She wrinkled her cute brow again. When she found out that there were only such a few troops on her battleship, Annie murmured dissatisfiedly. She always thought that there could be at least several thousand people on this battleship. Too!
How can I think that there are such a small number of combat troops installed? In normal times, she looks at this battleship is also quite big...
"Forget it! You go now, let the Marines all dress up, and later, we will also go to the ground of this planet to play!"
After speaking, she also jumped from her seat.
If she needs to go to the ground, she seems to have to go back and change into her ghost suit that hasn't been worn for a long time.
"Yes!"
There was a fight, and the now-modified Führer battleship, like the Protoss warship, had the ability to teleport back and forth individually, so Galen would definitely not be counseled.
"This is the last piece of prophecy, Karas, our mission will soon be completed..."
Zeratul looked at the last temple altar in front of him, and happily said to the high-ranking Templar who had suddenly teleported down to help him.
He used to forcefully fight for so long regardless of the injury on his arm, but now, it is finally time for him to get his reward!
As long as they learned all the slate and the contents on it, maybe their Protoss would know how to resist the terrible fate of being destroyed?
"Master Zeratul, quickly remove the slate, I found that the bugs seem to have followed..."
The high-ranking templar Karas was not very happy, but looked worriedly into the darkness in the distance. Wherever, there seemed to be faintly screaming from the worms, they... I am afraid they will be found here soon. ?
"The last fragment of the prophecy... it mentions a person who will'break the cycle of God'?!"
After taking down the slate, Zeratul looked at it for a while, he couldn't understand what the contents meant.
Break the cycle of gods? !
What is a loop? Why does it loop? Who can break it? What does it have to do with the coming destruction? Then, who is this person who broke the cycle? !
"Master Zeratul, can't even you interpret the specific content of these slates?"
Karas was a little surprised. Couldn't even the elder patriarch Zeratul interpret this prophecy? So what's the point in they tried their best and sacrificed so many samurai?
"Some of the writing is very vague, while others are also very old... Maybe we need the wisdom of the guardian..."
After recalling the contents of the slates he saw before, Zeratul shook his head helplessly, his knowledge was not enough to completely crack the slates.
"Kerrigan, come out, I have found you!"
After putting away the slate, Zeratul suddenly sullen his face, waved his psionic war blade, and coldly shouted at a high ground in the distance.
He had already sensed Kerrigan's nether energy fluctuations just now, and the opponent was behind that high ground!
"Perhaps, you can understand all the meaning of the prophecy, Zeratul!"
"However, since you have refused to cooperate, then you will not be able to escape the fate that awaits everyone and will eventually be destroyed together..."
Blade Queen Kerrigan walked from the darkness to the high ground with a sneer, and looked condescendingly at the distance, the thirty or fifty templars and Zeratul beside the temple below.
"Why don't you accept your death gladly? Since it is already doomed...what is the meaning of your resistance...?"
Now that she has no expectations of cooperation, she also wants to know the specific content of the slates that Zeratul got.
After all, survival is the instinct of all living things! Therefore, she also wanted to find a specific method for herself and her zerg to survive the following catastrophe from these predictions.
So, it is obvious that defeating and killing Zeratul now, and then grabbing those slates from the opponent, is her best and only choice right now!
"Come out, my pets, crush them!"
In the next second, the soft sand and gravel behind Kerrigan began to tremble, and then countless insects ambushed here, those large numbers of Hydralisks, puppies, and even several huge thunder beasts. They all emerged from the ground...
"We are simply outnumbered! Master Zeratul, leave here with the fragments of prophecy, I will help you block the Queen of Blades!"
High Templar Wizard Karas discovered that it was not only the temple they were in, but even further away, in all directions, there were a lot of roars of bugs?
The situation is already very clear, they are now completely surrounded by massive swarms of insects!
"I will never leave you! Brother!"
Seeing that Callas, a brave high-ranking warrior, wanted to fight Kerrigan alone, Zeratul was anxious immediately. He knew that if the other party did this, it was simply killing him!
"Prophecy is more important than any of us. We must solve this secret, Zella! It is our future!"
If they flee together, the final result is probably to die together!
Because Karas knew that, surrounded by the swarms of insects, with the exception of Master Zeratul who could easily escape by using his invisibility and flashing abilities, everyone else was just a bunch of burdens...
If this is the case, then he must make his final contribution to the other party, drag the Queen of Blades, and let Master Zeratul have a better chance of escape?
"Psionic Storm!!"
After speaking, without waiting for Zeratul's reaction, Karas led the remaining thirty or so fanatic templars, and placed a thin two-line formation at the front of the road where the swarm rushed down.
"Go! Master Zeratul!"
After that, he immediately floated behind the array under the protection of the Templar for the first time, and began to arouse the power of his whole body, so that lightning storms must pass through those Hydralisks and puppies. On the road, the focus formed a large group of nether energy lightning, which shattered the bugs who dared to plunge into the storm area...
"Your sacrifice will last forever... my brother."
With a faint sigh, Zeratul, who knew the seriousness of the matter, tightened the backpack on his body, then turned and prepared to run in the other direction.
Wait...it's not right! Why did someone send it down again? !
Zeratul, who had just run a few steps, had to stop again when he noticed something at this moment. Because, with his keen perception, he discovered that on the flat ground not far from the opposite side, there was a strong movement of the large legion?
Is it the new Protoss unit? How come this is the case, so many people have been sacrificed, but there are still people who have been transported from space to die? ! Could their commanders be crazy? !
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After a series of transmitted blue lights and abnormal noises dissipated, whether it was the Protoss or the Blade Queen Kerrigan standing on the high ground watching the battle, they all discovered the new group of outsiders entering the battlefield.
"This is... a human force?!"
Unexpectedly by Zeratul, what was sent down was not their Protoss clansmen, but three large, neatly formed human Marines?
The number of them seems to be more than 300 people, except for the first row of twenty Marines with cold weapons in gold and red paint and a little ghost~EbookFREE.me~ in them Behind him, seems to be a whole three hundred men's Black Marines?
And look at the cards held in the hands of each of their phalanx flag bearers. On that battle flag, there is actually the head of a flaming fierce giant bear? !
This...what kind of human force is this? They are here at this time, what are they trying to make?
Moreover, why has he never seen such a human banner after he has been away for so many years?
Which country do they belong to? Is Umogian Protectorate? The most powerful Tyronn Empire? Or the Camerian Consortium? But it seems neither? Is there any new power emerging from mankind? !
Also, the most important thing is: when on earth did humans master their proprietary individual teleportation technology? ! Aren’t they just a simple hop technique between warships?
After all, in the case where the individual pyloric energy level is not up to the requirements, the technical difficulty and threshold are clearly there! How did they break through the difficulty of technology and directly implement long-distance transmission on vulnerable human individuals? Don’t you be afraid of tearing their bodies to pieces when you send them?
